This is a mystery for me.
I only have a name and nationality.
So if you can give me these two details a point can be yours.
Any additional information/photos are most welcome.

Not that but it is French.
I only have a name for this car.

Perhaps a Pro knows?

Bugatti?! (just kidding...)

It does look like it but not that!
However the name starts with a 'B'

Well, not finding anything I can put my finger on, and knowing the link to Bugatti, I will ask if it is a Ballot?

Sadly not a Ballot.....

Buc?

woodinsight · August 21, 2011, 03:16:08 AM

Not a Buc....
Unfortunately I have nothing more than a name and can't provide any further clues except that the name is more than five letters in length

pnegyesi · August 21, 2011, 03:59:26 AM

Becquet?

Otto Puzzell · August 21, 2011, 04:04:02 AM

Could it be a Bucciali Type 16?

woodinsight · August 21, 2011, 09:39:33 AM

Not Becquet or Bucciali....
A further hint - it's eight letters long

Otto Puzzell · August 21, 2011, 09:42:45 AM

Benjamin?

pnegyesi · August 21, 2011, 11:49:04 AM

Boissier?

woodinsight · August 21, 2011, 12:47:38 PM

Not Benjamin or Boissier.
I'd be surprised if anyone else knows of this car that my source informs me was the only one built.
Another hint - the first three letters are the opposite of 'good' (in English)

woodinsight · September 03, 2011, 02:52:56 PM

The name is made up of the following three elements -

1. the opposite of 'good' in English
2. the first letter of the alphabet
3. the equivalent of 'russet-red' in French

Who will be the first?

Wendax · September 03, 2011, 02:56:44 PM

Badaroux

Badaroux

Badaroux it is.
I have never heard of this name before.
I believe only one car was built.
If anyone has more information please post it here.....

The car, christened M.B. No. 501 was built in 1927 by Maurice Badaroux and is part of the Mahy collection.
